5.9 Magnum swap?
Well, I was on the hunt for a 440 for my D100 but most seem to be around the $1000 mark. Not bad, but I just can't afford that till I sell my 5.9 Magnum...
But that got me thinking. Sure it isn't as much hp/torque as the 440 but the 5.9 Magnum in stock for pumped out 230hp/325tq which is damn respectable.
I have the full harness and ECU for the motor. It's the stock ECU though which I don't know if i can use as I have the M1 intake and would be ordering the Huges Iron Ram heads and larger injectors.
But... what might I need to install? I don't even know what tranny I could use!
